Now who would have thought of this? The next chapter is the...
... Girl Talk
Silently Hermione worked on her homework. She was concentrated as always but that didn't stop Ginny from interrupting her. Harry and Ron had gone to the Quidditch pitch to work on a new strategy Harry wanted to try.
Ginny and Hermione were sitting in the common room and Ginny appeared to be dead bored.
"Hermione."
"Mhm." was all Ginny got for an answer.
"What are you doing?" Ginny said in a whiny voice.
"What do you think I'm doing, Ginny?" Hermione said, already irritated.
"Homework?" Ginny smirked, satisfied that Hermione had looked up from her parchment and was now talking to her.
"Yes, right, homework that's due to tomorrow, so would you mind?"
"I actually would, yes." Ginny laughed and Hermione groaned in response.
"What do you want to do, Ginny?"
She had given up. She sometimes was easy to distract. Ginny smirked again.
"Don't know. Just talk a bit."
"'bout what?"
"How about boys?"
"Ugh, no thanks, I don't want to hear all your 'Harry's so cute' and 'It's true love' stories again, sorry."
Ginny looked a bit pissed but forgot about it soon enough.
"Then we'll just talk about you and your boy." she said smiling an evil smile.
"No, we're not. Not here."
"Then let's go to the dormitory"
"No, Ginny, just let it go, please. Let's talk about something else."
"Are you going to do it sometime soon?"
"I think McGonagall gave us a huge pile of homework."
"Are you trying to avoid my questions?"
"Did you like dinner tonight?"
Her eyes bulged. "You already did it! You and Ron had s-"
"GINNY! Shut up!"
"If you don't go to the dormitory with me..."
"Ginny..." Hermione said in a threatening voice.
"...then I'm afraid I'll have to shout through the whole common room..."
"You wouldn't. You wouldn't. You-"
"...that you and Ron ALREADY HAD S-"
"SSSH! Alright, let's go..."
Laughing to herself Ginny got up and bounced towards the stairs that led up to the girl's dormitories. Sighing deeply Hermione got up as well and recognised suddenly that all eyes were on her. How much did the others hear? Would they think now that she had already slept with Ron? Would they think she was a slut or something? Swallowing the lump in her throat she went up the stairs after Ginny.
As soon as the door closed behind Hermione Ginny exploded.
"You did it! You two had sex, I don't believe it, it has finally happened! Wow, that's cool, when did it happen? It's awesome, isn't it? It's a great feeling I think, I always told you it was good and now you know it for yourself, that's great. I'm so happy for you two."
"Ginny, shut up."
"Oh." Ginny's face fell. "It wasn't good? You didn't like it?"
"We haven't slept with each other yet."
"Oh. So the same old story."
"No, not the same old story. We talked about it, you know."
She seemed surprised. "You talked about it? I can't imagine that. You are always so shy around each other."
"No, we're not." Hermione snapped, her face reddening. "We had an honest open talk about it. And I told him I was ready for it."
"Now that's good news!" Ginny smiled. "So it can't take too long anymore, right?"
"No, it's definitely going to be soon."
"Good. I'm sure he's more than ready by now."
Hermione blushed deeper. "I'm afraid." she whispered after a minute of silence.
"I know, I felt the same. But when the time is finally there you get all calm and comfortable with him."
"I'm afraid that he won't find me attractive."
"Are you kidding, girl?! That guy loves you more than anything else in this world. To him you are a goddess, so please don't tell me you've got complexes about your body!" Ginny was furious. "You are beautiful, Hermione, and I know that Ron thinks the same way!"
"Okay, okay."
"Try to be happy about it." Ginny encouraged.
"I already am."
"Good."
"Does it hurt?"
"It does. A little bit. But really, it's not too bad."
"And it gets better?"
"It gets fantastic."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"Can I return to my homework?"
"No."
Hermione sighed. "I know."
